00:0023,000 for our feature ewe market here in Jamestown today, which is obviously a fair number jump from the previous month.
00:06But yeah, just probably the way the season was, a lot of numbers got held back and carried through into this time frame.
00:11So, feature ewe sales, so a good sort of 80 to 90% of the yarding was ewe hoggots were an older breeding year, with a few lambs offered.
00:19But yeah, overall today, the trend of the sale, ewe hoggots topped out at about 330 odd, which is pretty good for our environment here at the moment, in our buying gallery.
00:27The sheep that sold well, we've got that next tier down, the sheep that are sort of 50 to 50 separate kilos,
00:32making sort of consistently sort of 230 or 40 through to about sort of 290, that's a number of $20 for those sort of sheep.
00:38And that's where a lot of our buying galleries operate generally, so that job's good.
00:43Picking off a little bit, once we got to the wider end sort of lines, today, congrats to probably what we were a month ago.
00:50Once we got into sort of our middle-aged breeding sheep for the older sheep, flock reductions, dispersal sort of style of sheep,
00:55create the opportunity for people to buy those sheep that have right in their prime.
00:58Now, middle-aged job is still pretty solid, like it was a month ago, sort of 220s and 30s up to sort of 270s or 80s,
01:04topping out a bit over $300 for the 23 jobs.
01:07The older sheep, you're five and a half, probably what we felt the pitch a bit, just on the back of the mutton job easing.
01:13That job's probably a good $20 to $40 cheaper than it was a year a month ago.
01:16More sheep yarded as well, so made it difficult, obviously, to probably attract enough buyers for those sort of sheep.
01:22We don't sheep out the system though, because if you went to the trade, it means less sheep for next year in the mutton front.
01:26It means that job should probably stay positive enough, hopefully in 12 months' time as well.
